Smart Phone Market Set to Increase to 500 million in 2014
The use of smart phones is set to increase dramatically with the sales volume forecast to go from 174 million in 2009 to 500 million in 2014. at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.28%.
GBI Research has published the semiconductor report, “Power Discretes Market to 2020-Increased Demand from Hybrid Electric Vehicles, Solar Photovoltaic and Wind Energy Markets to Benefit MOSFETs and IGBTs”.
The report provides the key market statistics and analysis on the discrete power semiconductor industry. It covers the key market drivers, restraints and growth forecasts for major market segments in the power discretes Industry.
The rapid adoption of mobile and smart phones is expected to boost the demand power discretes. The use of smart phones is set to increase dramatically with the sales volume forecast to go from 174 million in 2009 to 500 million in 2014 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.28%.
The deployment of next generation mobile networks such as 3G in India and 4G in South Korea is anticipated to aid the sales growth of smart phones. The OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODMs (Original Device Manufacturer) of mobile and smart phones are increasingly using modern power discretes with superior capabilities, higher efficiency and the smaller form factor.
This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GBI Research’s team of industry experts. It covers key regions such as EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Americas (North + Latin), the Asia Pacific and Japan.
The report also gives comprehensive profiles of key companies such as STMicroelectronics N V, Infineon Technologies AG, Fairchild Semiconductor International, Toshiba Semiconductor Company, Vishay Intertechnology, and International Rectifier Corporation (IRF).
Infinera InP 100G PIC covers 1348 km of Coherent Transmission
The firm has completed a field trial on the XO Communication Network using its Indium Phosphide based Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).
Infinera has completed a successful field trial of 100 Gigabit per second (100G) coherent transmission over a 1348 kilometer route on the XO Communications nationwide network. The trial used Infinera’s new 500 Gigabit per sec- ond (500G) Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) which each integrate five 100G channels.
Infinera believes the field trial marks a signifi- cant step towards the future commercial de- ployment of PIC-based optical systems based on 100G coherent transmission to deliver upgrades in total fiber capacity as well as the disruptive economics of photonic integration.
The field trial involved Infinera’s 500G PICs transmitting and receiving a 100G signal on a 1348 km production route between Denver and Dallas on the XO optical fiber network. The route is built with Infinera’s 100G-ready ILS WDM line system, which provides scalable fiber capacity up to 8 Terabits per second.
During the field trial the ILS system was car- rying 10G and 100G channels simultaneously. The 100G channel was transmitted using PM- QPSK modulation and coherent detection to enable error-free unrepeatered transmission over ultra-long haul distances.
Infinera believes this to be the world’s first demonstration of 100G coherent transmission using fully integrated optical 500G PICs at both transmitter and receiver, including the use of integrated local oscillators in the PIC receiver.
“We are pleased to support development of In- finera’s PIC-based 100G-based systems,” said XO Communications Chief Technology Officer Randy Nicklas. “XO Communications looks for- ward to the increased capacity and superior ef-
